Tddlliuhom it wwt e concem.'v i l Be it lmown' that-l, RINGLING RMc- Garcon, a citizen of the United States, residing at Hot Springs, in the county :of Garland and State of Arkansas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements 1n Eucathol lnspirators;

andil do hereby de-j clare the following tobe. a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enableiothers skilled in the art to which it appertai'ns to make and use the same.

. the handle is Ii i This invention relates to, an eucathol inspirator; and is particularly'adapted for use of medicinal substance known as eucathol used inthe treatment of acute and chronic diseases of the head, ear, eye, nose, throat, bronchial tubes or lungs by the inhalation of the vapor from the body of medicine.

If The invention has for an object to provide a novel and improved constructionof casing adapted toc'ontain the medicinal substance and to embody therein a slidably mounted valve member connected with the handle of the casing so that the "aperture connecting withthe .inhalirig (cube may be closed .when

e Other and further objects and advantages of the invention will be hereinafter set forth and the novel features thereof defined by the appended claims. 7 In the drawing:

These are connected by the end .members' 13 and held in their relative position by themet'allic top plate 14: which is provided at the corners with depending brackets .15 of angular formation to embrace the side and front and end plates and hold them in thei proper fixed relation. Upon the base 10 a block 1'6 is disposed to which the front and end members are secured by any desired means such as the nails 17 which leaves the back member removable for the purpose of securing access to the interior of the casing in order to replace the medicinal substance 18 therein.

Attached to the top plate 14 is a block 19,

The inner end of this recess is closed by a screen 22 to prevent the passage of solid Attached to the exof the pipe 20 is the in'-' material therethrough. tended upper end haling tube 23 which may be of any desired construction or configuration. Cooperating with the opening 21 at the pipe 20 is a valve block uppersurface with a packing 25'and adapted to close the inhaling openingwhen in raised position as shown in full linesinFig.

2. This block'is'guide'd'in its move ent means of an angular plate 26 attached there-f 27 thereof operatto, the depending'portion ing in a slot formed in a strip'28 attached to the inner face; of the front plate. This valve block 2 gis adapted to be raised and the handle 29 from 30 extend and'pass lowered by means of which depending rods through the valve block as shown in Fig. 32 The lower endsof'these rods are secured to the block by: being bent at aniangle thereto as at 31 and embraced by a clip '32.

The medicine chamber33 in the the casing is provided with a wire cloth cov ering 3 k to retain the eucathol which is in a solid body or lump within the'casing and this cloth covering may if desiredbe extended downward, as at '35, tocover or protect an air inlet opening 36 in the back 11 of the casing. This inlet opening maybe closed in any desired manner,

back, in which a slmilar apertured slide plate 38 is mounted. A single aperture may beused but if a series are found desirable, the form of slide plate adapted for use so 'as to the inspirator is not in use. For the purpose of guiding the rods 30.extending from the handle, they maybe surrounded by conical 100 or'bell-shaped casings 39 having collars 4O mountedat theirupper, ends to fit therods passing therethrough and these parts are preferably formed of metal and plated as desired. Upon the front 11 a frame 41 retain a designated label may be secured in any desired manner, for instance by the screws 42 disposed at the corners thereof.

The operation of the invention will be apparent from the foregoing description, which it will be seen that the concentrated eucathol is adapted to be retained in solid pipe extends inner end of the- 65 24: provided upon its I a base 7 for instance by means of'an apertured'guide plate 87 secured to the shownin Fig. 3 s close this aperture M to prevent evaporationof'the eucatholwhen from form in the bottom of the receptacle and when the handles are depressed and the air inlet open the patient can freely inhale the vapors thereof to secure the curative results in the treatment of any diseases of the head," When it is desired not to use throat or lungs. the instrument the handle may be raised and the friction of the rods retains the valve plate in position to close the inhaling outlet while the air inlet may be similarly closed thus preventing evaporation and loss of the medicine within the casing. It will also be seen that the rear wall of the casing may be readily removed by riveting the top plate so as to obtain access for cleaning or refilling purposes. The invention presents a simple, eflicient and economically constructed inspirato-r particularly adapted for use with a solid medicant such as eucathol, and which maybe readily used and safely transported whenever desired. IVhat I claim is: v
